Cool. So glad you're shitting on us. Good job, you fucking piece of shit. You did it. Fuck you.

Maybe get angry at those who put you in this situation rather than at those pointing out the situation?

Maybe you're deflecting the blame so you don't have to feel like you're being an asshole?

P.S. Please do enlighten me. Who exactly are "those" who put me and everyone else in this situation? You trolls are such trash.

It's definitely a beast with many heads.

Loosely, the people that extract wealth from the masses without lifting a finger, and hoarding said wealth, are likely the epicenter of it all. The neoliberal world order and capitalism isn't the work of an individual or a single group, but there definitely are those that pull the strings - the very wealthy, their lackeys, the educational institutions they have shaped, the media organizations they own and influence, and the governments that they have co-opted.

Some of the strings being pulled are fear, hate, survival, comfort, sycophancy, subservience, greed, competition, polarization, feelings of superiority, and dominance. We are not only exploited through our labor, but also through our psyche and how our societies are structured.

The answer is to stop falling into negativity and to focus on solutions. Pointing the finger and playing the blame game has no winners.

ding ding ding! You hit the mark. You might enjoy The Age of Surveillance Capitalism if you haven't read it already.

The new surveillance capitalist market is about human emotions and attention, not goods or services. At a certain point money is useless, and everything becomes about influence

Deflecting the blame? How is any of it my fault?

I understand the meme makes you angry. Rightfully so. But I am not your enemy in any way

Edit to answer yours: your government?? The oppressive systems and their history are plain to see, I'm not talking about the lizard people

Are you a rich company owner exploiting people for your own luxury? Or a crooked politician? Otherwise I don't think this is shitting on you.

To say it clearly: The exploited person is not to blame. This image does not blame the tired worker. This image points out that the desperate worker is the victim.
